๐ŸฅŠ Hughes v Kambosos Jr

Just caught up on the fight from last night.

Not sure which fight the judges watched - but its not the same one that was broadcast. Great fight, spoiled by the most unjust decision that I remember ever seeing. Main promoterโ€™s boxer the beneficiary.

Coincidence?

I liked indieVelo so much, that I was back online this morning for the V02 Max Three Threes erg workout. 3 x 3 minute intervals at VO2 Max. The erg control worked great, more in a later post.

Having spent a day on Threads, starting to realise that though itโ€™s cute that friends and family can see what I put there, I actually much prefer the relative calm of micro.blog, Mastodon and dare I say it Bluesky.

What is all of this shit they are making me scroll through? Is just painful.

๐ŸฅŠ Marshall v Crews-Dazurn. The cleaner, precision work, and movement came from Savannah. Not a close fight, and donโ€™t really understand the one card that was tied. Crews-Dazurn full of power, strength and heart, but was outclassed tonight.

Maintaining strength and flexibility has always been my weakness both as a climber, and triathlete.

I think that @tinylytics is starting to look pretty awesome now. It doesnโ€™t do everything that I want yet, but is getting closer, and I really like the trajectory.

Discovered Summitbag.

There have been various apps around for years to record hills climbed, notebooks and maps prior. Whatโ€™s really neat about this is the Strava integration, scanning activities to identify summits.

It also gives you a nice wee image to share, like this one from last weekend.

Some iconic moments from my Burnley Championship Manager save this weekend. 1. Bringing back Dwight McNeill from Everton. 2. Nathan Tellaโ€™s FA cup final winning goal. 3. Inadvertently winning the 2024/5 Champions League

Finished migrating my latest videos from Loom over to youtube.

Really like the ease and simplicity of screencasting through Loom - but:
1. Couldnโ€™t justify a standalone subscription just for hosting videos for the volume of traffic they get. 2. Felt limited by ability to edit and markup videos later.

Had to reinstall and do further testing on my patched Championship Manager 01โ€“02 install as the game froze at every penalty. Had to play all the way through to December to see one, but it's working now! ๐ŸŽฎ
